The Time Bridge Travelers

Book 1

by Linda Ayers, illustrated by Ryan Ayers

The spinning wheel that the children find in the back room of their mother's antique shop looks like an ordinary spinning wheel. But when a spin of the wheel sends Mandy and Toby hundreds of years into the past, they realize that it it is anything but ordinary. What will they do when they are mistaken for a blacksmith's apprentices? And how can Clint, who was left behind, ever explain this to their mother?

This first book in The Time Bridge Travelers series takes place in colonial America. Look for the next book in the series, The Time Bridge Travelers and the Mysterious Map, to arrive in 2005.
